12:15 to 12:32, this is so true. I did the CRS Score simulation with French as 1st Official Language and then English and vice versa, the scores varied with the former having a much higher score as compared to the latter. Thank you for this insight, I've never heard it being mentioned in any video before.
Hello Vivian, I stumbled on your travel vlog video and I loved it. I have watched all the videos on your channel. But I love watching Nola the most! She is so smart and outspoken for her age! And her smile is like sunshine! Please add a bit of this Sunshine (Nola) to our videos 😢. I would also love to watch videos on things people should know about being a single mum. And more vlogs on day in the life of a single pretty please. I’m thinking of being a single mom. It will help my decision. Thank you and have a stress free day! Kisses for our Sunshine Nola! ❤
Awwww thank you so much sis🥰… I’ll definitely involve her going forward. About the single mother thing, the matter is long o. I’ll make a video about that too.
Good morning I just saw ur page dis morning and I found it so inspiring I’m Ridwan frm Nigerian Buh I have a national diploma in business administration
Can you please make another video about provincial nomination. please i have a sibling with PR living in manitoba province and i want to know how to go about it. How do we go about the nomination ?
I totally love your video and I understand the major part of it except the passport request/Kenya/Accra part....... Can you explain that better please?
The passport request was when I was asked to submit my passport for stamping. And I heard it’s done differently now but I sent our passports to the Kenya Vfs office so that we could get it back on time as opposed to dropping it in the Lagos office and waiting for them to send it to Accraw
Thanks for this video. Please at what point do you need to submit a consent form to IRCC? Is it when you get your invitation to apply during the process of submitting documents or when you are about to finally travel?
Hi, thank you for this video, God bless you richly. I have just two questions to ask I will be glad if you reply me. 1. I have HND can I use it to apply for express entry? 2. My best friend is in Canada 🇨🇦 can I use him to apply as family?
At what time you got the request for additional documents as you have mentioned that in january you have submitted your profile. Also the time which you mentioned it was after bio metric or included bio metric time.
Thank you for sharing this I’m just making research about relocating to Canada when I saw this video I really don’t know anything about it but I want to know what and what to do as I have someone who wants to help me relocate buh I will need to do all the processing myself You mentioned joining telegram or WhatsApp group do you have any legit ones you can share please Thank you
Hello, thanks for sharing. Please list again the documents needed by a single parent. That to be uploaded on the portal and the ones for the airport. Thank you
Sis thanks for the info, count me in as your subscriber, I want to ask u a question Before one can get provincial nomination are u to apply before entry to the pool or is the province that will nominate someone
Greetings guys if I did my Bachelors degree in Nigeria and a graduate certificate in Canada. In number 4 on the Crs point calculator. Would it be Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees. One must be for a program if three or more years or Bachelors degree
1. Do I have to run my WES evaluation before I create a profile on the express entry portal 2. Do I need to apply for a provisional PNP first before going into the express entry pool?
For the first question yes... although its not mandatory but it would make sense that you have most of your documents ready for smooth application. for the second question, I don't think so. From my understanding candidates are selected for PNP even though they applied for express entry.
THANK YOU girl. Please as Nigerian we may have our offer ketter and statement but it not possible for some people to get introduction letter from their place of work.
I lives in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire, please how can I go about mine, should I do the processing from here or should I go back to Nigeria and apply for mine
Most people send it to the VFS office on the island then it’s send to Accra for stamping but I sent mine to Kenya directly. The stamping is not done in Nigeria
Hello Vivian,Trust this mets you well. I want to learn French language. I am currently in canada and want to hopefully apply for PR straight after my pgd. Can you please recommend any crash French program/crash course that will aid me learn french . Thanks
Where in Canada are you? I know of one in Manitoba for Manitoba residents. A friend in Alberta said they have a similar program there too so you may just check online for wherever you are.
Thank you very much for this detailed video. pls I want to ask for those that is 30 and above, what is their lot?, also, does my cousin necessary has to bear same surname with me?
@@Toyosielusiyan No hope is lost even if you’re above 30. You just have to make up for it in other areas and No your cousin doesn’t have to bear the same surname but you need to have proof that you’re related
Your video is so cool, thanks for all the information, i intend moving with my wife and 3 kids, all belos the ages of 10, pleaae what kind of documenrs will i be required to submit for them, aside their passports
@@Mayrealworld-z7d The visa is not processed in Nigeria and you don’t necessarily have your send it to Kenya. You can send it to other processing centers. Kenya was fast at the time and as at 2 months ago I got the same feedback about them. Hope this helsp
I’m sorry my question are a bit… I mean after doing your normal physical passport. Do we still need to do the processing you talked about. Or you did yours online as in epassport? And pls did you use any agent?🙏 I am trying to process this for my family of 5 and I want to go through express entry. Thanks
Please find out what province your cousin is and then find out the criteria for provincial nomination for that province. Once you do that, you’ll know if you need your cousin or not. Cause if they are in a province that doesn’t use family ties, they wouldn’t be able to help
Thanks for the video. I want to ask, can I use my brother's wife , when they asked if I have someone in Canada because my brother's wife is in Toronto. And also I'm in the USA with 1 year experience here is USA but I had more 4 years experience before I got to the USA. How do I use that in the Express entry. Thirdly my husband and kids are still in Dubai, how do I put them on my express entry application. I will be glad if you can take out time to reply me. Thank you.
As long as she is still married to your brother. You can use her for that. All your work experiences count no matter where you got them from. And you will add your family the same way you would add them if you were together but you guys will have to figure out the best way to send your passports once it has been requested
@Vivian D’or I think you need to put a disclaimer on the advice you give. The person is already married, and regardless of whether they choose to travel with their spouse or not, they need to have enough money as per IRCC guideline. This amount is not negotiable whether you travel with or without your spouse.
You must have the complete money for a family of 2 which is about 17k Canadian dollars whether or not you people are going together or not. This is to ensure that one family member doesn't suffer whilst the other person travels.
What if am traveling alone, and I want to leave my wife and child in Nigeria for sometimes,what will be the process? Do I need to fill additional form? And will I be showing proof of fund for my self alone.
I still need to understand this work experience thing, can work experience from another country or your country of origin works for express entry since its clearly stated Canadian work experience? Please I need a response on this. Thanks
Hello I love your video is so rich with real informations. Please what of people who have work experience for 5years plus but their and stopped working since 2020 is it go to go?
Hi Vivian Due to the high cost of living. If I decide to write the exams and do the wes alone without my partner and get a good score, will i still travel with my wife? Will i be able to take them along?
@Vivian D’or He can't do this. He is already married. If he doesn't include his wife, this is called misrepresentation, and he can be banned from Canada for five years.
Your spouse does not necessarily have to write IELTS or evaluate their results as long as your scores are high enough to get you an invitation to apply
I have an question. I have a professional Master's Degree which ran for 5 years. L1 was basics and M5 the specialties. Do I request WES transcripts evaluation from L1 to M2 from my University?
You can do express entry as a matter of fact your ND and HND will be counted as two degrees. I was just saying that to get the scores needed now, you need to have masters
@@GlambyKuyet NYSC counts as work experience and if you don’t have work experience, it will only reduce your points. You could have other criteria that will boost your score. Like I suggested, use the CRS calculator to simulate your scorz
Hey..Which NOC did you apply for? Because i think to be invited for the Provinsional nominations,which will give you the 600 boost its better to have a NOC that is in demand
@@Viviandor what do you mean you used family ties to get your nominations? Does that mean you indicated on the application that you have family in Canada?
@@Viviandor , it's not clear, please kindly break it down further, I really want to understand that relationship btw the EE & PNP ....... now my question is , how can I get 600 points from PNP ?
You can get 600 for PNP if you have a relative in any of the provinces that used provincial ties as the criteria and you can also get picked from the express entry pool for PNP by provinces that uses job categories as a criteria. It’s possible to complete express entry without PNP as well. PNP just gives extra points that gives you a edge over others in the EE pool. I hope this helps.
You can APPLY to certain provinces for nomination but you first have to be in the pool. To be in the pool, you need to have written IELTS and evaluate your results using WES or IQAS. So don't skip the foundational steps.
Please i have 2 question 1. Must you have a masters degree to qualify 2. Give or take how long does it take from applying for the PR to relocating what is the maximum duration for this process. Please i hope to get a reply thank you
No you don’t have to have a masters degree but the more degrees you have the more points you get. It depends on the processing period but from the time they give you ITA(invitation to apply) to passport request takes averagely 6 months
How many people think this is the best and most clear explanation for P.R. so farr?
Love this! Thanksss🎉

At what time you got the request for additional documents as you have mentioned that in january you have submitted your profile.

What if your child's other parent is from the pit of hell and refuses to write the consent letter?
Pit of hell 🤣. I think you can get a lawyer involved
This is so funny 🤣, you bind and cast him
My sister, you just asked the question on my mind. I don think tire. This life no balance, some are lucky with love, me na kpako I go jam as husband
You will need to get custody of the child by going to court and proving that you’ve been the one providing for your child.
@Ray of light hey some are directly from hell
I am new here
I love you for being sincere.Thanks
Thanks you for this.A big help for me tho.

Yes it does. Thank you for watching 🤗
WES does not recognise ICAN . They accept other certifications like CIPM, ACCA, CIM and others.
Hello…
I have a cousin who stays at a province there. How does that help me? Will they ask if I have a cousin or my cousin is supposed to help?
Please find out what province your cousin is and then find out the criteria for provincial nomination for that province. Once you do that, you’ll know if you need your cousin or not. Cause if they are in a province that doesn’t use family ties, they wouldn’t be able to help

Enrol her for ielts, I believe she will pass
Pls let her do ielt she will pass and her score will boost ur scores too.

I have an question. I have a professional Master's Degree which ran for 5 years. L1 was basics and M5 the specialties. Do I request WES transcripts evaluation from L1 to M2 from my University?
Or do I only evaluate transcripts for M1 and M2. 😂 wahala with Professional Master Degrees.
